Lotus Elise Sport 190 with TSX K24 2.4L First Drive

After a long process converting my Lotus Elise Sport 190 from a Rover VHPD 1.8L (5 spd) to an Acura TSX 2.4L with 6 spd, I finally get to drive the car for the first time (albeit through the neighborhood). Car weighs around 1650 lbs, so the new 2.4L is a HUGE power gain on track!

did you ever think about adding a jackson supercharger to it.

@SOFLOLIVE - I did consider it, but decided to build an 'All Motor' 12.5:1 Compression built engine. No regrets for now, but may supercharge later (changing out the pistons of course).

Did you mess with the FD? I read a good portion of your thread and didn't see anything on it, however I could be wrong.  Here I thought my 92' hatch weighing in 1780 was good. I had the most fun with my car when it made 265 whp. Anything above that, I had issues. Nice build, much props. Love the attention to all the details. Have fun with it and enjoy.
